Assertion:
There is some odd behavior with forms and the LAYER/ILAYER elements. If a LAYER/ILAYER element is nested inside a FORM element, and any widgets for the form (buttons, text fields, etc) are contained within the layer, they will not appear/be rendered. If a widget/field is to show up, the containing FORM element must lie within the same LAYER/ILAYER element as its widgets/fields.
